Linux Containers (LXC) has no Mageia template

I just started tinkering with LXC on a Fedora 25 system. As far as I understand, the intended method for creating a guest is to use one of the template scripts that come with LXC. I noticed that there is no lxc-mageia template. Is anyone working on adding one, or not? Is there another known way to create a Mageia guest under LXC?

EDIT: I found that lxc-2.0.0-5.mga6 has a Mageia template created for it. Now, the question becomes, when will it be submitted/added upstream?

you need to create your own by building a container template from scratch.

i had a search around and heres a link for creating a debian template, http://wiki.pcprobleemloos.nl/using_lxc ... e_template

but i could not find a redhat/centos/fedora one, which is what you will need for mageia.

lxc containers are a combination of cgroups, chroot, and a bit of magic, and are a predecessor to a docker container
